Fucked Up has released a new video for "Turn the Season", off their BNM'd rock opera David Comes to Life. In the video, the band poses for photographs, san smiles, while ballerinas exercise around a buzzing studio. It ends with an explosion in the distance and a subsequent swarm of police sirens. According to the Matablog, it was filmed during a photo shoot for the David Comes to Life album art. Watch it below, via Spin:

In response to rumors that he might be leaving the band, Fucked Up frontman Damian Abraham admitted to Spinner that he does have doubts about his role. Abraham, a father and a husband, explained that Fucked Up's touring schedule takes away unmanageable amounts of his time: "I can't tour anymore," he said. "I don't want to take that away from them, so I would love to find a way to basically make it into a constantly evolving thing where sometimes Fucked Up can go on tour and other times, it's another band involved with us."

OK, this one's sort of tough to explain, so bear with us. Earlier this year, when Fucked Up released their latest epic long-player David Comes to Life, they also put out David's Town, a compiliation of "fake" British punk bands that were supposed to hail from the same town that the titular character of David Comes to Life was based in. Now, the band's made a video for "Do You Feed", originally attributed to the band Animal Man; the video was directed by Lance Ludwig and is really goofy. Check it out below.

Fucked Up frontman Damian Abraham is a famously exciting and engaging performer: He gets naked, smashes glass against his face, and bleeds a lot at his shows. So of course he can pull off running on stage with the plush-costumed characters of the Nick Jr. show "Yo Gabba Gabba!" and instructing a dance routine for an audience that includes his son and his wife.
